The Transcendental Meditation (TM)
technique is a simple, natural, effortless
procedure whereby the mind easily
and naturally arrives at the source of thought,
the settled state of the mind
-- Transcendental Consciousness -- pure
consciousness, self-referral consciousness,
which is the source of all creative
processes. Transcendental meditation
is practised for 15–20 minutes in the morning
and evening, while sitting comfortably
with the eyes closed. During this technique,
the individual's awareness settles
down and experiences a unique state of restful
alertness. As the body becomes
deeply relaxed, the mind transcends all mental
activity to experience the simplest
form of awareness, Transcendental
Consciousness, where consciousness
is open to itself. This is the self-referral state
of consciousness.

The experience of Transcendental Consciousness
develops the individual's latent creative potential while
dissolving accumulated stress and fatigue through the deep
rest gained during the practice. This experience enlivens
the individual's creativity, dynamism, orderliness, and
organising power, which result in increasing effectiveness
and success in daily life.

The Transcendental
Meditation technique is scientific, requiring neither specific beliefs
nor adoption of a particular lifestyle. The practice does not involve any
effort or concentration. It is easy to learn and does not require any special
ability. People of all ages, educational backgrounds, cultures, and religions
in countries throughout the world practise the technique and enjoy its
wide range of benefits.
